Ummm... I don't think that people using condoms are going to be listening
to the radio at night while having sex. 

Imagine you and your partner(s) getting to the point of no return and the
big Grundig on the dresser starts spewing a lengthy commercial set with
ads for Chicken of the Sea tuna fish, followed by a car dealer ad (NO
MONEY DOWN!), followed by an impotence ad (Horny Goat weed anyone?)
followed by Trojan Condoms (TROHHH_JAN MAAANNNN). ;-)
 
No, I think most people looking for mood music are gonna go for Music
Choice on cable or a CD/Tape player; hell maybe even a record changer
(remember those?) -- but definitely no radio! :)

Try WJIB-74 AM or WXKS-1430 (Clear Channel - YUK) or even WBPS-89 AM (AMOR
Ocho-Noventa) :-)

Why no Infinity stations? Curious (although I betcha your reasons are the
same as mine)
